THE Dancing Masters Convention
in New York, September 14th, decided
the correct position for waltzing. The
gentleman should hold the lady with
his right forearm, placing his hand
fiat against the back. No part of his
arm above the elbow should come in
contact with her body. The lady's
left hand should rest upon the gentle
mans arm about four inches from the
shoulder. Her right arm should be
held out perfectly straight at an angle
of about fOrty-five degrees from the
body. Her right hand should rest in
the gentleman's left palm with the
knuckles uppermost. 1t is necessary
that the lady shall not bend her right
elbow, otherwise it will fail to give
her the mutual support which is "a
requisite of good dancing.
